We are putting the finishing touches on the new "Life-Preserver" CLI &
GUI utility which will handle most of this automatically. It'll let you
snapshot / replicate the entire OS, not just jails. And should your
system die a horrible flaming death, no big deal. You can throw our
install DVD into a fresh box, and restore the entire OS back from the
replicated data :)
It should be available in the next set of images we roll, for 9.2-RC2 in
a week or so.
As for specific jail exports via ZFS, that may happen down the road as
well, time permitting. If you want to take a look at how the backend
works, you can right here:

If you come up with some ideas / scripts, let us know and maybe we can
patch it into the warden.
